An Introduction to Malawi: Basic Facts

An Introduction to Malawi: Basic Facts

Cecilia Lawrence

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2017
nidottu
This work provides basic facts about Malawi. It is intended to serve as a brief introduction to this southeast African country and enable some people, who know nothing or very little about Malawi, to learn important facts which can help them learn more about the people and the history of one of the most fascinating countries on the African continent. Who are the people of Malawi? What are their ethnic identities? What is the country's history? How is the land? What are some of its prominent features? How is life in Malawi? What are some of the cultural aspects which give the country its own identity? Is there a national culture or simply cultures of different ethnic groups? What are some of the towns and cities of this predominantly agricultural country and one of the poorest in Africa? What is the country's future in a region with richer and more powerful neighbours? Is federation with them possible and a solution to the country's economic problems? Those are some of the questions I have attempted to answer in this book.

Wyoming's Big Horn Basin to 1901

Wyoming's Big Horn Basin to 1901

Lawrence M. Woods

University of Oklahoma Press
2020
nidottu
Custer's defeat at the Battle of the Little Big Horn did its part to win fame for the Big Horn Basin, and much has been written about the famous characters of Wyoming. But until now the region which is Wyoming's last frontier has not received comprehensive treatment. This new study examines the Big Horn Basin during its frontier period.Isolated by Indian lands and impassable natural barriers, the Big Horn Basin remained a frontier for years after the frontier faded from other Western regions. The Indian Treaties of 1868 had left the Basin effectively encircled by Crow, Sioux, and Shoshoni Indians. The Yellowstone cordillera, Big Horn River and Wind River cut off travel on the west, east and south. Secluded and remote, the Big Horn Basin attracted only the most rugged and foolhardy, giving it a history distinct in the American saga.Trail breakers, fur traders and gold seekers, the first to open the Basin to settlement, are each highlighted. The efforts of Jedediah Smith, Charles Kemble, William Gordon, Robert Campbell, William Ashley and others were the first to blaze routes into the Basin for fur trade. There is much information on military expeditions and Indian encounters led by the likes of Lt. John Mullins, Lt. Henry E. Maynadier and Capt. William F. Reynolds, and Col. Nelson A. Miles. James Bridger, Edward Shelly, and the Expedition of 1870 figure prominently. The adventures of various prospectors are included.Stock growing entrepreneurs and alliances receive prime attention in this study. The disastrous winter of 1886-1887 and the Johnson County Invasion are described at length. Cattlemen Mason and Lovell, Torrey, and a great many others are discussed in a sweeping roster of who's who.Horse and cattle thieves, robbers and outlaws are discussed, including Hank Gorman, Charles and Ed Anderson, and Albert Nard. The lawmen who brought justice to Wyoming are also heralded here: Thomas R. Adams, Ed Lloyd, and Walter W. Peay among others.The railroad through the Big Horn Basin and its impact on a once impenetrable frontier are spotlighted. The importance of the Hill Line, Toluca Line, Lower Hanover Canal Project, and Wind River Canyon Dam are all brought to light.Water appropriation, the Carey Act, and other development, immigration and settlement projects-including Mormon settlements-are all addressed by Woods. Governor William Alford Richards, W. S. Collins, and W.D. Pickett's contributions are chronicled.

Basic College Mathematics with P.O.W.E.R. Learning

Basic College Mathematics with P.O.W.E.R. Learning

Sherri Messersmith; Lawrence Perez; Robert Feldman

McGraw-Hill Professional
2013
nidottu
Sherri Messersmith’s successful hardcover franchise is expanded with the new softcover P.O.W.E.R. series. The conversational writing style, practical applications, innovative student resources and student friendly walk through of examples that users of the hard cover books noted and appreciated are also found in the pages of the P.O.W.E.R. series. The P.O.W.E.R. FrameworkWhat makes P.O.W.E.R. a unique tool for the classroom? A major challenge in developmental courses is that students at this level struggle with basic study skills and habits. Maybe this is one of their first college courses or perhaps they are adults returning to school after a long absence. Either way, many of the individuals taking this course don’t know how to be good students. Instructors often don’t have the time, the resources or the expertise to teach success skills AND the math concepts. The new team of Messersmith, Perez and Feldman offer a scientifically based approach to meet this challenge. The P.O.W.E.R. Learning Framework was developed by successful author, psychologist, student success instructor and researcher, Bob Feldman. It is a method of accomplishing any task using five simple and consistent steps. Prepare. Organize. Work. Evaluate. Rethink. This framework is integrated at every level of the text to help students successfully learn math concepts while at the same time developing habits that will serve them well throughout their college careers and in their daily lives. The MathMastering Concepts--With the textbook and Connect Math hosted by ALEKS, students can practice and master their understanding of algebraic concepts.Messersmith is rigorous enough to prepare students for the next level yet easy to read and understand. The exposition is written as if a professor is teaching in a lecture to be more accessible to students. The language is mathematically sound yet easy enough for students to understand.

Basin-Plateau Aboriginal Sociopolitical Groups

Basin-Plateau Aboriginal Sociopolitical Groups

Julian Steward; Lawrence Loendorf

University of Utah Press,U.S.
2002
nidottu
This volume constitutes one of the earliest and most comprehensive ethnographic reconnaissance of the Western Shoshoni and some of their Northern Paiute, Ute, and Southern Paiute neighbors of the Great Basin. At the same time, it tries to ascertain the types of Shoshonean sociopolitical groups and to discover their ecological and social determinants.First published in 1938 as the Smithsonian Institution Bureau of American Ethnology Bulletin 120, this study is a classic in the field of Great Basin ethnology. Steward is considered one of the foremost exponents of cultural evolution in the United States, and his work is a major contribution to the study of social organization and to North American ethnography.

A Dance to the Music of Circumstances: How to Manage Basic Expectations - An Illustrated Dialogue

A Dance to the Music of Circumstances: How to Manage Basic Expectations - An Illustrated Dialogue

Glenwood a. Lawrence

Glenwood Lawrence Publishers, Inc
2016
nidottu
This 142 page illustrated book is a story about romance, maturity, and self-understanding. The relationship between a young man and a young woman broke up and they are both hurt emotionally and visibly upset. The story of growth and development unfolds as the young man gets into a series of self-management talks (dialogues) with Conscience, who has become his mentor. After much inner search and sometimes heated discussions with Conscience, the young man comes to a knowledge of himself that translates to a deeper understanding of what a relationship might be, how he might maintain his own balance (equilibrium), and how he might understand his own expectations. At the same time, without the young man knowing, the young woman also had been having meaningful conversations with Conscience. The young man and the young woman meet again, more mature for the experience and smart... much smarter than before.

The Research-Practice Gap on Accounting in the Public Services

The Research-Practice Gap on Accounting in the Public Services

Laurence Ferry; Iris Saliterer; Ileana Steccolini; Basil Tucker

Birkhauser Verlag AG
2018
sidottu
This book considers how the practical and public policy relevance of research might be increased, and academics and practitioners can better engage to define research agendas and deliver findings relevant to accounting and accountability in the public services. To do so, an international comparative analysis of the research-practice gap in public sector accounting has been undertaken. This involved academic perspectives from over twenty countries, and practitioner perspectives from leading international professional accounting bodies actively involved in the public services arena. It was found that research is valued for informing practice, but engaging at a high level of policy engagement has been primarily by a small group of experienced researchers. For other researchers the impact accomplished may not always be valued highly in the academic community relative to other, more scholarly, activities. The book therefore looks at how engagement and impact between academics and practitioners can be increased.

The Linguistic Basis of Text Generation

The Linguistic Basis of Text Generation

Danlos Laurence

Cambridge University Press
1987
sidottu
This study presents an original and penetrating analysis of the complex problems surrounding the automatic generation of natural language text. Laurence Danlos provides a valuable critical review of research in this important and increasingly active field and goes on to describe a theoretical model that is thoroughly grounded in linguistic principles. The model emphasises the semantic, syntactic and lexical constraints that must be dealt with when establishing a relationship between meaning and form and it is consideration of such linguistic constraints that determines Danlos' generation algorithm. The book concludes with a description of a generation system based on this algorithm which produces texts in several domains and also a system for the synthesis of spoken messages from semantic representation. The book is a significant addition to the literature on text generation and will be of particular interest to all computational linguists and AI researchers who have wrestled with the problem of vocabulary selection.

The Ten Basic Principles of Good Parenting

The Ten Basic Principles of Good Parenting

Laurence Steinberg

SIMON SCHUSTER
2005
nidottu
Most parents do a pretty good job of raising kids, says psychologist Laurence Steinberg, but truly effective parenting means not just relying on natural instincts but also on knowing what works and why. In The Ten Basic Principles of Good Parenting, Dr. Steinberg distills decades of research into a parenting book that explains the fundamentals of raising happy, healthy children, giving readers an invaluable map to help them navigate parenthood from infancy to adolescence. Dr. Steinberg found that the basic principles for effective parenting are simple and universal, and apply to all parents and children regardless of background. He explains each principle and shows how to put it into action, using anecdotes and examples: from "What You Do Matters" (parents make an enormous difference; children are not simply the product of their genes) to "Establish Rules and Limits" (how to provide structure in your child's life, and how to handle conflicts over rules) and "Help Foster Your Child's Independence" (help your child think through decisions instead of making them for him or her). Concise and authoritative, written with warmth and compassion, The Ten Basic Principles of Good Parenting is an intelligent guide to raising a happy, healthy child and to becoming a happier, more confident parent in the process.
